Five questions that the press needs to ask Candidate Clinton. But they won't.
1. Prior to learning about your husband’s affair in the White House, you blamed the entire scenario on “a vast Right-Wing Conspiracy”. Do you believe there was such a thing, and if so, will it be directed against you as President? Will this affect the way you conduct cross-aisle negotiations with Republicans in Congress?
2. As a senator, you voted for the bill that limited the Commander in Chief’s ability to conduct war as he saw fit. This is a new, extra-Constitutional authority for the Congress. As President, will you welcome Congress exercising such authority over any military action necessary under your presidency?
3. The old standard of ex-presidents being behind-the-scene elder statesmen was abandoned by the two Democratic ex-presidents during President Bush’s eight years in office. What is your stance on ex-presidents being front and center in helping shape international public opinion, or in the case of President Carter, actually conducting what they believe to be foreign policy with heads of state?
4. You have stated that you believe the Iraq War was a disaster, and that you will end the war when you become president. What, if anything, do you believe we will still owe to the people or the government of Iraq for the disaster of the Iraq War after we leave?
5. President Bush made it clear that he would hold nations that supported terrorists responsible for the actions of the terrorists, regardless of whether those terrorists were acting on behalf of the state or not. Do you think that a terrorist attack on US interests worldwide should result in action against just those terrorists personally who conducted the attack, or should it action be taken against the entire infrastructure of the terrorist organization, including official state agencies of other countries? If action should be taken only against the actual terrorists, what do we do when the terrorists conduct a suicide attack and they are killed? Is there no recourse in the case of suicide attacks?
